2nd Sending it to Yaesu. I had a 450at repaired for $80 back in 2014. I think its in California? It was a component replacement (80m didnt work), not exactly simple. $80 seemed fair! Not sure about shipping though! KF5ONT On Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 09:04:12 AM CDT, Philip Bartash via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: Check with Alexander Suvorov, he does repairs.

No place locally to repair equipment. As for installs River Oaks is the only one that I know of that is familiar with ham equipment. You can go to commercial shops such as Bearcom, Northwest Communications, MCA, and Houston Communications. Be prepared to pay $150 to $250 an hour for the installs. Mike Hardwick.

I’ve had to send a radio back to Yaesu for repair due to my error. They were reasonable and fair to me. I have an FT-991 and if something were to happen to it, I would send it back to Yaesu for repair. They aren’t in the business of screwing over the folks who buy their radios.
